An Alaska-based maker sees your flight tracker and raises you with a two-for-one: a flight-tracking, aurora borealis-photographing, roof-mounted setup.
A Raspberry Pi 4 wearing a PoE HAT is the brains of the operation, while a Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera wearing a fisheye lens looks up and captures amazing light shows in the Alaskan night sky. Raspberry Pi-compatible sensors for radio and for visible light tell the camera when to kick in and start photographing the sky.
